“…On rare occasions, an impacted tooth, multiple teeth, or a deciduous tooth may be affected as well 1 5 7 8 . To our knowledge, there have been 8 reported cases of cementoblastoma that developed on anterior jaws in the literature 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 , with only two of them located in the mandible 9 10 .

A benign cementoblastoma, which is another name for a true cementoma, is a rare neoplasm that develops from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It is characterized by a mineralized mass attached to the apex of the root produced by neoplastic cementoblasts. More than 75% of cases arise in the mandible, with 90% of them manifesting in the molar and premolar regions. This neoplasm occurs most commonly in children and young adults, with males being affected slightly more than females. Radiographically, the tumor is observed as a well-defined radiopaque mass that is fused to a tooth root and is surrounded by a radiolucent rim. The treatment of benign cementoblastoma consists of removal of the lesion and extraction of the affected tooth. This report presents an unusual case of benign cementoblastoma in a 31-year-old female, presenting as a densely mineralized mass seen at the apex of the impacted right mandibular canine tooth on radiographs.

“…This lesion develops most commonly in association with the molar or premolar tooth roots, with the affected tooth/teeth retaining pulp vitality (Souza et al, 2013). Although extremely difficult to distinguish from osteoblastoma and focal sclerosing osteomyelitis radiographically and histologically (Pogrel et al, 2005), cementoblastoma is distinctive in that it connects directly to the tooth root surface, often with the loss of root contour due to fusion with the tumor (Sankari and Ramakrisnan, 2011;Souza et al, 2013). Macroscopic and CBCT observations demonstrate that SK611's affected molar retains its contour.…”

AbstractThis report provides a differential diagnosis of an exostotic bony lesion within the left maxillary sinus of a Romano-British (3 rd to 4 th century AD) adult male from Newport, Lincoln. Macroscopic, radiographic, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analyses suggest that the lesion is likely of odontogenic origin. The overall size of the lesion and areas of sclerosis and radiolucency, together with its hypothesised odontogenic origin, suggest that the lesion represents a chronic exostotic osteomyelitic reaction to the presence of odontogenic bacteria. While modern case studies of odontogenic maxillary sinus osteomyelitis are noteworthy, published cases of this condition are extremely rare in an archaeological context and may be underreported due to the enclosed nature of the sinuses. Such infections may have serious implications for individual and population health, and non-destructive investigation should be considered in cases where significant maxillary caries are present.

Cementoblastoma is a rare benign neoplasm of odontogenic ectomesenchyme origin, involving the roots of any tooth, which occurs predominantly in second and third decade of life. Very few cases of cementoblastoma associated with a primary tooth or having a maxillary presentation have been reported in the past. Here, a rare case of a ten year old boy who presented to the department with a swelling in maxillary posterior region since one month is being discussed. The radiographic presentation was mimicking an odontoma. The final diagnosis was cementoblastoma. We have advocated the use of polarized microscopy to support the histopathological diagnosis with respect to its cemental origin. Cementoblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of radio-opaque lesions in the transitional dentition.
